I’m With Stupid

I’m With Stupid, pt II: The Empire is Stupid

If you want to pretend Quentin Tarantino wrote this story, read these all out of order and then praise my cleverness.

No, that wasn’t a dig at Tarantino.  I think he’s praiseworthy and clever.  M. Night Samalaundrymat is not clever.  Well, maybe once.  And by “maybe” I, of course, mean “never”.  OK, enough on film makers and one trick ponies.

So there I was,  hurtling down the runway, strapped into a United Airbus A320, at speeds approaching Ludicrous, and Ton’s O’Fun next to me cried “Havoc!” and let slip the poot of war.

That sentence was a very wordy and comma-abusive way of saying, “She farted”.

I have a bill, but am not a duck.

I often carry water, but am not glass.
I can feed the animals, but am not grass.

The Terrorism® may attempt to place insurgent arrows into buildings to create confusion or lure you into a scary basement. The Evil Arrow may team up with an Evil Exit Sign in an attempt to trap you in a well. Evil Arrows are usually much longer and skinnier than fat, patriotic, American arrows.

It was pointed out to me that my note about the new forums may have implied that it was some sort of exclusive, members only area.  That’s only half correct.  It is members only in the sense that you have to register to enter so I can keep out spammers, but other than that it’s open to everyone.

I would encourage regulars to visit there from time to time.  Content in the forums includes:

• Riddle clues
• Riddle discussions
• More ready.gov jokes
• Potentially less “work friendly” material

It’s quite possible that the forum idea will flop (which seems to be the direction it’s headed).  It’s an experiment in creating a community around the funny.  I thought about doing something through Facebook but don’t want to alienate people that think Facebook is the stupid.  Anyway…

Pink Eye and Leprosy are both extremely contagious. They are so contagious that they can be spread via social networking web sites. Immediately de-friend anyone on Facebook who appears to have any of the following symptoms: one or more pink, drippy eyes; large, gross patches of blotchy skin; plays Mafia Wars, Farmville, or the one where you build a restaurant.

If you wisely rescued the arrow last week, it will help guide you away from a tricky pop quiz, spray paint vandals, and ugly stained glass windows. If you didn't help the arrow... well... enjoy your new paint job, stupid.

In the event of a biological attack, swallow and inhale as many Jelly Bellies as you can. You can go to their web site for clever recipes and ideas on how to mix their flavors to make new ones like Buttered Popcorn, Strawberry Daquiri, and Hair.

You can only see me where I’ve never been.
Or perhaps upon pausing and focusing within.
I may reveal myself in silver and in gold.
Or the faces of the young as seen by the old.
